Summary
The Witcher 3: Wild Huntannounced its official mod editor kit is scheduled for a PC release on July 31, 2025. Since its launch nearly a decade ago,The Witcher 3: Wild Hunthas become one of the landmark titles of the gaming industry, thanks in part to its thriving library of downloadable fanmade mods. Now, CD Projekt Red revealed a powerful new tool for modders, which promises to provide creative fans with unparalleled options in expanding upon the game’s content.
The success ofThe Witcher 3is perhaps the biggest feather in CD Projekt Red’s cap, with the threequel debuting to overwhelming praise from new fans and series veterans alike. The game was so beloved that it retains a sizable fanbase even now, nearly 10 years since its 2015 launch. Its diehard fans have keptThe Witcher 3alive with modsthat have enhanced the game’s graphical, UI, and gameplay elements.
Now, a new tool from the game’s studio is offering these modders a way to customizeThe Witcher 3to their heart’s content with the REDkit, an official modding kit developed by CD Projekt scheduled for launch on May 21. According to the software’s Steam page,The Witcher 3’s REDkitoffers fans the freedom to edit almost every element of the game, meaning players can craft anything from unique gear to entirely new territories for others to explore. With that said, REDkit won’t be available for everyone. The REDkit and likely all mods developed using the tool will only be available for PC users who own a copy ofThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunton Steam, GOG, or the Epic Store, and console players will, unfortunately, have to make do with the vanilla experience.
The Future of The Witcher Franchise
Official mod support forThe Witcher 3is only one of the many tasks CD Projekt Red has kept in the production pipeline. The studio previously announced several projects forThe Witcherfranchise were in development, which included amultiplayer-focusedWitchergame codenamed Project Siriusand a remake of the originalThe Witchervideo game.
The overwhelming success ofThe Witchervideo games — especiallyThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt— has likely helped cement the series as one of the most popular IPs in the modern day, with adaptations ranging from TV shows and animated films to entire comic series. While it remains to be seen if all of these projects will live up to the fantastical world conceptualized in author Andrzej Sapkowski’s beloved novels, it’s undeniable that the franchise has already left its mark on its many fans, who can only hope for the best when it comes to thecontinuation of the tale inThe Witcher 4.
